| What about seats down the side of the south and the middle left for terracing? It does say it's what the stadium could look like

| I don't understand how your capacity is not increasing when the club said there will be the same amount of fans standing in the South stand as there is today. The main stand must be more spacious for spectators I presume.

| Quote Bang="Bang"Seating in the South is an absolute disaster. Heartbreaking. It's gonna rip the atmosphere right out of it.
"It will present a major construction challenge and inevitably cause some disruption for all teams during that period. Our stadium capacity will reduce to just over 13,000 for a period during the 2017 season but we are determined to ensure all our ticketed members are guaranteed access to all games and that's why the 2016 Members will have priority for 2017."
Where are all us South Standers going during this period? Carnigie stand?'"
The Stretford end at old Trafford had no problem generating noise back in the 80s that had seating in the back 1/3.

| Quote Ferdy="Ferdy"It says that the south stand will still have more standing than currently even with the seating. '"
It'll have more standing capacity than there currently are standing memberships, not that it currently has in total. That's my understanding of it anyway.
So the days of non-members being able to walk up to games on matchday and stand in the South Stand will be gone. They'll have to either stand at an end or pay extra for a seat if they want to be side-on.
Nice bit of economics there by the club, making it more attractive for those who wish to stand to pay for a membership rather than pick and choose their games.

I think the real bit of economics is increasing the number of seats. Add another 4 or 5 quid to the ticket price.
I wonder how much this is costing? £15m? £20m?
I'm glad it's taking place though. Yes it's a shame there's seating in the South Stand but it's the future of the club and it's great to see it taking place.

Not sure how that is any different to what it is now.
You have x amount of members, and you have x amount of paying public.
The new proposals is bigger capacity than current members. Therefore you will have x amount of members, and you will have x amount of paying public.
It also states the extra capacity will make up for the loss in the North stand, therefore you would expect that extra capacity to be bigger than we have now.

I'm sure it says the capacity is remaining the same. So intake that to mean that the North will be reduced and South increased by a similar amount

Pretty much my take on it. Plus Caddick could be paying himself to build it?

| Quote William Eve="William Eve"Fantastic news.
After a 15 year absence from the south stand, I may now return with a lovely cushioned seat high up and level with halfway, well away from all the riff raff who've been stinking out that area for way too long.
Oh, and take that effin' band with you as you clear off!
It's not often I've praised him but... well done Gary Hetherington. Fantastic stuff
'"
Proof, were it needed, that this redevelopment is a bad idea...

| For those moaning your options are this:
1. Stick with a south stand that is falling down around us and at some point will just be closed by the safety folk and a north stand that quite frankly is not fit for elite sports, or
2. Redevelop with improved seats and corporate possibilities as well as maintaining the heart of the south stand with seating.
For me there is only one long term option and we have all known this for sometime. If you really hate it then give your feedback to the club. I do wonder what some people want though.
Well done to all involved. Yet another example of the club (literally) building strong foundations for the future of the club.
